Stop the madness!
This is simply not true. There are better ways to go about this than
installing from scratch. We ain't talking Windows here.
Upgrade 5.2 to 6.0 (which worked pretty well as I recall), then 6.0 ->
6.2. This is a good reason to grab older CDROMS at your local LUG (you do
have a Linux User Group nearby, right?).
Somethings will need some tweaking, but you certainly do not need to
reinstall the machine everytime a major version comes along.
I've upgraded a machine from 4.0 to 6.0...minor tweaking to get some
things working, a recompile here and there, but not too bad.
